3rd Generation LED bulbs?

i did some search and have a little info on what i need/do but still am confused. im pretty much tired of my bulbs burning out one by one and switching them out when necessary. so im thinking into investing into LED bulbs that plug right in.

from what ive read on a 94 Camry LE i will need a LED load resistor (or will a resistor from radio shack work? these are cheaper and i could pretty much get them free) to stop my brake light off from showing. if these are needed, do i need one for each bulb that i am replacing?

and i also installed an SE trunk panel (the all black one), the problem with this is that on my orignal trunk panel, i had an extra set or brake lights right next to my reverse lights. since i am no longer using these (SE panel doesnt have the other set of brake lights housing) what can i do to disconnect them? if i take out the bulb, my bulb out light turns on. so im also thinking a LED (or resistor from radio shack) should work? i dont really wana spend another $20 to hook up LEDs for these lights that im not even using.

not sure what the difference is between the LED resistor and the electronic resistor. the electronic resistor go up to (i think) 8ohm and the LED resistor at Autozone/Checkers is also 8ohm

LED flasher module? how? where is this located?

i did that on my car. i just didnt worry about the load resistors on the brake lights too much money to turn off a little bulb so i just live with it

but if you want to turn it off you will need a resistor for each bulb

i got a flasher module for my turn signals just so i can get a normal flash without messing with wires. mine was located by the driver kick panel
